Can anyone help me to find who I complain to about paint quality?

How many coats has he had to use to get it to cover sufficiently?

Thunder4ever

He's had to do about four top coats over the undercoat.

Normally it's undercoat and up to two top coats...

A paint ombudsman thats the funniest thing i've heard all week :rotfl: Offpaint or Paint off.

OP return the paint to your supplier then get a refund. Then buy a different brand of paint if your not happy with Dulux.

Both Crown Once and Dulux Solo which are one coat paints are crap. They say only one coat is needed guaranteed. Not so, they're lying. If I had the need I'd hit them both under the Trade Descriptions Act.

I painted the woodwork in my bedroom with Dulux gloss. I did 1 coat of undercoat and 2 of gloss. That was at easter and I have noticed that it is yellowing already but in patches :eek:

I am not a professional decorater and assumed that it was my poor painting technique but now I'm thinking it could be the paint.

Off topic I know but can anyone recommend a decent gloss. I was thinking of Crown. I'm going to have to do it all again now :mad:.

I would say that all paint has gone down the pan since the eco warriors took over the asylum?!
Modern car paints are a glaring example, it might look all nice and shiny but you've only got to look at it menacingly for it to either chip or scratch. Bring back good old cellulose!

Although I expect they've managed to spell it properly.

I don't know if you meant it about Wickes paint being good but I tried it and found that the gloss does cover really well and it seems much better than the original Dulux finish. :T
